Telangana Police on Wednesday registered three more criminal cases against suspended BJP MLA Raja Singh for his derogatory comments on Prophet Mohammad. Amid the continuing protests, new cases have been registered with the Nampally and Malakpet police stations in Hyderabad. Another case was registered at Rajendra Nagar police station of Cyberabad police commissioner.

The legislator has been booked for promoting enmity between people on the grounds of religion. The cases were registered under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 153-A, 188, 295-A, 298, 505(1)(B)(C), 505(2) and 506. Cases were also registered against Raja Singh in some other districts in Telangana.

Muslims in various parts of Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana are reaching police stations in rallies to register their complaints. Cases were registered against Raja Singh at six police stations on Tuesday. He was arrested following massive protests.

A city court on Tuesday evening granted bail to Raja Singh in one of the cases. Police sources said he may be arrested in other cases booked against him.

Earlier on Wednesday, AIMIM General Secretary Ahmed Pasha Quadri wrote to Telangana Assembly Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy demanding expulsion proceedings be initiated against Raja Singh.

Demanding Raja Singh's expulsion, AIMIM MLA Ahmed Pasha Quadri wrote in a letter, "A member of the Telangana Legislative Assembly, Raja Singh has repeatedly conducted himself in a manner that is unbecoming of a member of the house. His utterances inside and outside the House have resulted in diminishing the dignity of the legislative assembly. His conduct has breached this House's privileges, resulting in collective contempt."
